Pam was born and raised in Owensboro and attended Western High School (first through sixth grade), Foust Jr. High School and Owensboro High School, where she was on the first Girls Track team, winning a state championship in her senior year.
As an entrepreneur, Pam owned her own salon for over 30 years, along with Tastefully Yours catering service for over 20 years. Pam was the first African-American to hold the office of President of the Kentucky AmVets Ladies Auxiliary for the state of Kentucky. On her first bid for a seat on the Owensboro Board of Commissioners in 2010, she garnered the most votes in the primary and general elections, making her the first female to hold the office of Mayor Pro Tem. She went on to serve an additional four terms and is currently serving her sixth term as a City Commissioner.
Currently she is running to become the first female and African-American mayor of the city of Owensboro. Join me in welcoming her as we learn about her journey.
